Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 935

“…Hold on, there’s a cave over there! Why don’t we try hiding there, boss? As we’ve said, we’re not leaving you here to die alone!” said another man as the others nodded in unison.

Knowing full well that the others weren’t going to listen to him, he simply allowed them to carry his wounded body over to the cave.

“…Huh? Is it just me, or does it seem like someone lives here…?” said one of the men in surprise when he saw the remains of a campfire.

“It’s not just you… Regardless, let’s not worry about that first. We should focus on bandaging boss’s wounds first.”

“Honestly, it’d be better for him to bleed a little more under these circumstances. He’ll die even faster if you bandage his wounds now,” said a voice out of the blue.

Shocked to hear that comment, everyone immediately raised their guns as they aimed at the young man who had just spoken.

Still standing at the cave’s entrance, Gerald simply stared directly at the black muzzles of the guns before casually sitting down by the side of the cave. In his hand, was a hare that he had apparently just roasted.

While the boss of the group glared coldly at the young man who had just appeared, he couldn’t help but feel that he was an extraordinary person.

After all, though the boss was seriously injured, he was well aware that he was much more vigilant compared to regular people. Even so, he hadn’t been able to notice the young man’s presence until he said something! What more, the young man hadn’t even batted an eyelid when his men pointed their guns at him! Hell, a commoner wouldn’t be roasting hares this far up the mountains!

All these qualities were far from what a normal person would possess!

“Lower your guns!” said the leader with a wave of his hand.

Once his men obeyed, he smiled while looking at Gerald before saying, “Correct me if I’m wrong, but this appears to be your home, young man! Our apologies for simply bursting in on short notice!”

“What, do people live in caves where you come from? I was only taking shelter from the rain here.

Since this place isn’t mine to begin with, feel free to stay for as long as you want,” replied Gerald with a sneer.

“Hah! As if we need his permission, Boss! It’s obvious from the way he dresses that he’s just a regular backpacker! Also, try not to talk too much, young man. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not giving you any face!” replied one of the men angrily before immediately starting to bandage his boss’s wounds.

Seeing that the man was using a short blade to cut off a piece of gauze, Gerald immediately came to the conclusion that these men were probably from the same group as Rainey.

After all, her short blade and the man’s looked incredibly similar.

Recalling what she had said, Rainey had told Gerald that her friends had been cheated by Hansel, resulting in their death. That was her motive to take revenge on Hansel in the first place.

Seeing the miserable state the five men were in, Gerald had a feeling that Rainey could’ve been wrong about them dying.

What the men said next, however, confirmed that his theory was true.

“That d*mned Hansel… If we make it out alive of this, I’m definitely going after his head! To think that he actually hired others to get rid of us! We won’t be taken out that easily!”

“Indeed! Still, I hope Sixth sister is doing alright now… I fear that she’ll end up getting caught in one of Hansel’s tricks!” added their boss with a cough.

Gerald himself thought about how Rainey had truly almost lost her life because of Hansel.

“Regardless, what’s our next step, boss? Hansel’s been extremely wary with us, making sure that we wouldn’t even have a place to seek refuge! I can’t even think of a place where we can head to at the moment!”

“We’ll take things slow. Worst comes to worst, we’ll just be vagabonds for a while! However, I still say that all of you should just leave me here. There’s no point in losing your lives because of an injured man!” persuaded the boss.

However, no matter how much he persuaded, none of his comrades wavered with their final decisions.

At that moment, several footsteps could be heard running toward the cave. From what Gerald could tell, there were at least a dozen men heading toward them.

“I beg of you! Leave while you can!”

“Negative, boss! We’re fighting till the very end!” growled the men as they gritted their teeth, fully prepared to engage in battle with the other party.

Shortly after, their hunters—who were also donning camouflage clothing—finally appeared at the mouth of the cave. As they pointed their guns at the group of people inside, the person—who seemed to be their leader—took a step forward before saying, “Hah! You guys can really run! To think that you even made us chase you all the way up the mountain for so long! You truly are amazing, Whistler Sankey!”

“Just cut the crap and kill us already if you want to, Leopold!” shouted Whistler in return.

“Bold! How truly bold of you!” sneered Leopold.

“Don Leopold! There seems to be another man in here!” reported one of Leopold’s men.
